Chapter Summaries

Taika Sha and the other leaders planned to concentrate the Pan-Spirit Alliance's forces to escort Lin Yi home and prepare for a decisive battle, while leaving a decoy at the Evacuation Point. After Lin Yi detected a suspected Void Detection Worm, the escort rendezvoused with him, and Yan Long warned that an enemy interception force could arrive within one or two standard years.

• Taika Sha warned that the Yuan and Shi Races might track Lin Yi and ambush the force sent to meet him, so the leaders agreed to send their main strength under cover of a decoy.
• Lin Yi studied Yan Long's warning, agreed to the plan, and resolved to keep the Heart of the Abyss hidden until a decisive battle.
• The Evacuation Point mobilized its squads, organizing an overt advance team, a concealed main force, and a rear guard to maintain the decoy.
• Lin Yi met a four-deity Star Spirit Race squad, shared intelligence with them, and allowed them to travel with his group toward the Evacuation Point.
• Lin Yi detected a disturbance consistent with a Void Detection Worm and warned Yan Long, who put the concealed main force on alert.
• Lin Yi's group rendezvoused with Yan Long and Qing Ling's escort; Yan Long warned that enemy forces might intercept them within one or two standard years.

Beifei learned that Lin Yi had reached Superior Deity strength as the Pan-Spirit Alliance gathered to meet the Yuan-Shi Allied Forces. Lin Yi ended the enemy’s confidence with a single Source Treasure punch that killed Aomaba, the allied leaders, and nearly four hundred Higher Deities, leaving both armies stunned.

• Beifei asked Airila what was happening and learned the Evacuation Point expected an ambush and considered Lin Yi’s return a decisive battle.
• Lin Yi joined Yan Long and Taika Sha as the escort fleet continued toward the Evacuation Point, and alarms announced the approaching enemy forces.
• The Pan-Spirit Alliance and Yuan-Shi Allied Forces revealed their full forces, numbering more than sixteen hundred and twenty-four hundred Higher Deities respectively.
• Aomaba challenged the Pan-Spirit Alliance and boasted that he could defeat its Human Race Superior Deity, while Taika Sha asked Lin Yi to demonstrate his strength.
• Lin Yi appeared between the armies and used the Heart of the Abyss to fire a Source Law punch through the enemy formation.
• The punch killed the two enemy leaders, Aomaba, and nearly four hundred Higher Deities, leaving the battlefield silent.

Lin Yi used the Heart of the Abyss to devastate the Yuan-Shi Allied Forces, turning the battle into a rout and helping the Pan-Spirit Alliance secure victory. After arranging a new team for his departing teammates, he remained on the 45th Floor to collect spoils while news of the battle stirred the Main Universe.

• Lin Yi struck the enemy formation with his Source Treasure, killing the Yuan-Shi Allied Forces leader and hundreds of deities, then teleported into the breach and defeated nearly two hundred more with his azure domain.
• The remaining Yuan-Shi Allied Forces fled, and Yan Long ordered the Pan-Spirit Alliance deities to pursue them as Adeline recorded Lin Yi's feats for Star Ring Media.
• Lin Yi replenished his divine power, authorized Adeline to use the footage without charge, and offered to help her pursue the Star Sea Eternal Award.
• Lin Yi asked Qian Huan and Sai Xi to take Liu Na, Hui Lie, Shi Feng, and Serwilla into their squad before he advanced to the next floor; all four teammates agreed.
• Qian Huan and Sai Xi went to meet Lin Yi's teammates, while Adeline left to return to the Main Universe and Lin Yi stayed behind to assess his spoils.

At the Secret Realm exit, the Spirit Race Lords discovered that nearly seven hundred Yuan and Shi Race Higher Deities had been defeated and left near death. Adeline revealed that Lin Yi had led the Pan-Spirit Alliance to a decisive victory using a Source Treasure, prompting Lord Lanzhi to take her to Dominator Qingyan while Lord Tianhe prepared to alert Human Race leadership.

• Lord Lanzhi, Lord Tianhe, and Lord Yaosuo watched nearly seven hundred wounded Yuan and Shi Race deities emerge from the Vortex, and a Yuan Race Dominator carried them away.
• The three Lords mocked the enemy’s defeat, then reported the incident to Dominator Qingyan and were ordered to investigate.
• Adeline emerged from the Secret Realm in good condition, and Lord Lanzhi summoned her to explain the battle.
• Adeline said Lin Yi had used a Source Treasure to kill enemy leaders and hundreds of deities, helping the Pan-Spirit Alliance win a decisive battle, and she showed the Lords her recording.
• Lord Lanzhi took Adeline to report the victory and present the footage to Dominator Qingyan.
• Lord Tianhe told his Intelligent Life to arrange an urgent virtual meeting with Lord Xuanyan and Lord Tiange, noting that the matter might require them to jointly request an audience with Dominator Hengshi.

Lord Tianhe, Lord Xuanyan, and Lord Tiange reported Lin Yi’s use of a Prototype Source Treasure to Dominator Hengshi, who decided to support him rather than investigate its origins. Dominator Hengshi arranged two Fearless War Gods for Lin Yi, and Xuanyan planned their delivery to the 47th Floor while Tianhe added his Qingcang Ship; Tiange was left wondering why Xuanyan was looking at him.

• Lord Tianhe showed Lord Xuanyan and Lord Tiange Adeline’s recording of Lin Yi using a Prototype Source Treasure to cripple the Yuan-Shi Allied Forces, and the three worried another race might have supplied it.
• Lord Xuanyan, Lord Tiange, and Lord Tianhe jointly met Dominator Hengshi and reported Lin Yi’s achievement and the unexplained Source Treasure.
• Dominator Hengshi summoned Dominator Wanling and bought two peak Superior Deity-level Fearless War Gods for one hundred Source Treasure Points to strengthen Lin Yi.
• Dominator Hengshi told Xuanyan to deliver the Fearless War Gods to Lin Yi and urged the Lords to trust Lin Yi rather than investigate who had supplied the treasure.
• Lord Xuanyan proposed sending the goods to the 47th Floor through Star Stream, while Lord Tianhe added his Qingcang Ship as a gift for Lin Yi.
• Xuanyan looked toward Lord Tiange, who asked why Xuanyan was looking at him.

Tiange offered Lin Yi an opportunity to enter the Myriad Weapon Tomb, while Dominator Qingyan decided the Spirit Race would recognize Lin Yi’s service rather than try to poach him. After Lin Yi’s victory on the 45th Floor, he counted his spoils and discovered that his redeemable resources were worth 179.1 billion Beginning Universe Tower Points.

• Tiange offered Lin Yi one chance to enter the Myriad Weapon Tomb, and Xuanyan and Tianhe agreed to the arrangement.
• Lord Lanzhi and Adeline showed Dominator Qingyan footage of Lin Yi breaking the enemy formation on the 45th Floor, and Qingyan praised Adeline and ordered the footage released.
• Dominator Qingyan told Lanzhi that Supreme Zhaoyue wanted the Spirit Race to support promising allies, so they should reward Lin Yi for his achievements rather than try to poach him.
• Dominator Qingyan ordered Lanzhi to bring Lin Yi to him when Lin Yi left the Secret Realm.
• Lin Yi assessed the resources and equipment he had taken from the defeated forces and found that the redeemable Secret Realm resources were worth 179.1 billion Beginning Universe Tower Points.

Lin Yi spent his 189.1 billion Beginning Universe Tower Points on Law-comprehension resources, Source Energy supplies, and 298,000 Low-Tier Source Essence Crystals before using the Jump Floor Rule to reach the 47th Floor. He concealed himself on a gas giant and spent a standard year converting the crystals into Spirit Enlightenment Qi, then opened his eyes after finishing the last one.

• Lin Yi intervened in nine Pan-Spirit Alliance battles, helped defeat the Yuan Race forces, and received nearly three billion points in gifts.
• The returning deities praised Lin Yi and exchanged contacts with him, while he reunited with Qian Huan and gave Liu Na and the other three ten billion points each.
• After the Pan-Spirit Alliance squads returned safely, Lin Yi left the 45th Floor and exchanged his resources for 185.1 billion points.
• Lin Yi bought resources for comprehending Fire, Earth, and Metal Laws, Source Energy supplies, and 298,000 Low-Tier Source Essence Crystals, keeping 24.2 billion points in reserve.
• Because his accumulated points exceeded 50 billion, Lin Yi entered the 47th Floor, found a gas giant, and concealed himself on a calm energy-crystal island.
• Lin Yi absorbed the Low-Tier Source Essence Crystals for a standard year, converting them into Spirit Enlightenment Qi, and finished when the last crystal became powder.

Lin Yi perfected the Laws of Fire, Earth, and Metal, fused all Nine Great Laws, and broke through to the World-Deriving Rank after defeating five Superior Deities with the Heart of the Abyss. He left the area aboard the Shadow Shuttle Ship to seek resources and an Evacuation Point while planning to strengthen his internal world and reunite with his clones.

• Lin Yi used his Spirit Enlightenment Qi and law treasures to perfect the Laws of Fire, Earth, and Metal, then spent nearly 170 years completing the fusion of the Nine Great Laws.
• Lin Yi appeared near a gaseous planet and used the Heart of the Abyss to force three pursuing Alien Race Superior Deities out of the Secret Realm, while two Yuan Race Superior Deities escaped on their own.
• Lin Yi collected the five deities' spoils and realized that fusing the Nine Great Laws had consumed far more time and Spirit Enlightenment Qi than he had expected.
• Lin Yi moved to a remote Star Domain and combined his ninety-nine perfected Star Domains into an Internal Small World, breaking through to the World-Deriving Rank.
• Lin Yi tested his new World Power, judged that his main body could reach Superior Deity-level strength as his small world grew, and decided he could form a squad with his clones.
• Lin Yi boarded the Shadow Shuttle Ship and ordered Xuanji to conceal it, scan nearby Star Domains, and search for resources or an Evacuation Point.

Lin Yi learned that Xing Liu had waited at Shuangyong Base with a message from the Dominator and that his Eldest Senior Brother Zhen Yu had become one of the base’s top fighters. After a long journey and intensive training, Lin Yi reached the heavily fortified Pan-Spirit Alliance stronghold on the 47th Floor.

• Lin Yi equipped himself and his ordinary clone with new weapons and armor, then promised to upgrade Xuanji to the Superior Deity level once they reached the Evacuation Point.
• Lin Yi explored the 47th Floor, gathered rare resources, and defeated three Superior Deities from an Alien Race squad for spoils and points.
• Lin Yi met Xing Qiong, Ting Zhen, and Gang Yan, who told him that Xing Liu had waited at Shuangyong Base for over five hundred years and that Zhen Yu was a renowned fighter there.
• Xing Qiong described the base’s forces and the dangerous balance between the Pan-Spirit Alliance, the Yuan-Shi Allied Forces, and other Alien Races.
• Lin Yi planned concealed combat drills and spent the journey refining his Laws and techniques before arriving at the vast, heavily defended Shuangyong Base.

Lin Yi arrived at Shuangyong Base, where Zhen Yu introduced him to its factions and warned him about the powerful, overbearing Ellis. After receiving gifts from the Dominator and Lord Tianhe, Lin Yi discovered that the Dominator had given him two peak Superior Deity-level Fearless War Gods, and decided to visit the base’s exchange point before binding them.

• Lin Yi entered Shuangyong Base, registered with Hub-7, and reunited with his senior brother Zhen Yu.
• Zhen Yu briefed Lin Yi on the base’s Source Treasure holders, the upcoming core meeting, and Ellis, a formidable Spirit Race Supreme descendant who cultivated the Space-Time Law.
• Zhen Yu brought Lin Yi to Star Stream, who delivered a sealed gift from the Dominator and a Qingcang Ship from Lord Tianhe.
• Zhen Yu escorted Lin Yi to his new residence and left him alone to inspect the gift.
• Lin Yi opened the case and discovered two peak Superior Deity-level Fearless War Gods that could serve as mechanical divine bodies for his clones.
• Lin Yi decided to check the base’s Evacuation Point and exchange options before binding the new Fearless War Gods.

Lin Yi exchanged for ten Star Soul Crystals and three Time Source Law manuals, then absorbed the crystals and discovered that his comprehension had improved dramatically. He left ready to study the manuals and pursue the Source Law of Time with his newfound aptitude.

• Lin Yi exchanged his 47th-floor spoils for 35.142 billion points and found Star Soul Crystals that could permanently improve comprehension.
• Zhen Yu explained that ten crystals raised comprehension to the level of an ordinary Deity-level genius and could be valuable to Lin Yi’s family and allies.
• Lin Yi exchanged five billion points for ten Star Soul Crystals and six billion for three manuals on the Source Law of Time.
• Lin Yi absorbed all ten crystals in his quiet chamber and found that his law control had become clearer, more precise, and less taxing.

Lin Yi studied the Source Law of Time while selling surplus treasures at Shuangyong Base and rebuilding his funds. At his first high-level meeting, Ellis challenged him over his assigned seat.

• Lin Yi spent 21 billion points on the Time Source Law Vein Map and went to the Trading Hall to sell equipment and treasures he did not need.
• Lin Yi studied three Secret Canons of Time Source Law during a thirty-year retreat, then sold a Holy Light Judgment Armor to Beilinluo, who offered to recommend his wares to other deities.
• More than a dozen deities bought Lin Yi’s goods, bringing him treasures worth about 7.1 billion points and raising his total assets above ten billion points.
• Xuanji told Lin Yi to attend a high-level meeting about priority tasks and resource allocation, and Hub-7 escorted him to his assigned seat in the Decision Hall.
• Lin Yi greeted the gathered Source Treasure wielders, including Zhen Yu and Sijia, as the meeting’s final arrival, Ellis, entered and took the central seat.
• Ellis recognized Lin Yi, questioned his identity, and demanded to know who had told him to sit in his assigned seat.

Lin Yi attended his first core meeting at Shuangyong Base, where Ellis singled him out, announced his coming breakthrough in the Source Law of Time, and granted him five thousand standard years to adjust and cultivate. After studying three time canons and failing to sense the Source Law through ordinary comprehension, Lin Yi burned Spirit Enlightenment Qi to try again.

• Lin Yi calmly challenged Ellis over the meeting’s seating arrangement, then accepted Ellis’s space-time relocation to a seat beside him.
• Ellis told the meeting that he expected to break through in the Source Law of Time and leave for the 48th Floor, after which Lin Yi would take charge of Shuangyong Base.
• The core meeting covered base operations and enemy activity, and Ellis extended Lin Yi’s adjustment period from five hundred to five thousand standard years.
• Bota explained the seating convention to Lin Yi and gave him a Machine Race guide for upgrading his Intelligent Life assistant to Superior Deity Rank.
• Lin Yi returned to the Trading Hall, sold more treasures, and studied the three Secret Canons of Time Source Law for over three hundred standard years.
• Lin Yi spent ten standard years trying to sense the Source Law of Time without external aid, failed to make contact, and then burned Spirit Enlightenment Qi.

After sensing 0.01% of the Source Law of Time, Lin Yi spent centuries deepening his insight before an emergency meeting revealed that more than six thousand enemy Deities were advancing on Shuangyong Base. With Ellis still short of a breakthrough and the base facing a choice between a risky battle and retreat, Lin Yi spoke up with a proposal.

• Lin Yi used the Time Source Law Vein Map and Spirit Enlightenment Qi to sense the Source Law of Time, then reviewed meeting records warning that the Alien Races and Yuan-Shi Allied Forces were focusing pressure on the Pan-Spirit Alliance.
• Lin Yi resumed cultivation and gradually raised his insight into the Source Law of Time from 0.01% to 0.93% over thirteen hundred standard years.
• Xuanji summoned Lin Yi to an emergency core meeting after Shuangyong Base detected more than six thousand enemy Deities approaching in a pincer formation.
• Bota presented plans to attack one enemy force or abandon the base and retreat, while the assembled Deities recognized the costs of both options and remained silent about pooling resources for Ellis.
• Ellis admitted that he had not yet mastered the Superior Source Law, and Lin Yi decided to propose gathering resources to help Ellis break through and confront both enemy forces.
